The flooded Bagmati River bursts its embankments in Kathmandu, Nepal, on October 4, 2025, following incessant rainfall due to the continued influence of moisture-laden monsoon winds from the Bay of Bengal, which triggers flooding in parts of the nation. In Nepal, the monsoon is particularly influenced by the Bay of Bengal, making it a major driver of monsoon-related disasters. During the four months of the monsoon season, from June to September, Nepal typically receives around 80% of its annual average rainfall of 1,600 mm, sometimes reaching up to 1,800 mm. Nepal ranks second after Bangladesh in South Asia and 20th globally in multi-hazard disaster risk. According to the 2019 Asian Development Bank report, floods alone cause an average annual loss exceeding USD 140 million, accounting for 1.4% of Nepal's GDP.
